wow, what an emotional evening I have had, I'm sitting here in tears cause i just read a post in the RIP section, with Lillie having the diarreah this evening I just cant bare even thinking about ever losing her, I just cant go through that again. I checked on her and brought her down here with me and just held her in my arms and told her how much I love her.
Lillie was a gift from Kloey, I just know she was, but she is so tiny that I worry about her all the time. She is almost 5 months old and weighs 1lb13oz and she is just so precious to me.
Sorry just needed to get that out!

if the stool gets better then you should have nothing to worry about...rice and chicken is easy to digest and will help with regulating her stool. If you continue to see mucous take a sample to the vet check for coccidia and giardia check, a bad bacteria can bring a puppy down fast. Since you have such a little one I would have some rebound on hand...here is the link

hope this helps

Hi Missy, hope your baby is doing better, ours had a bit of that today, I think she was stressed cause I too had a difficult day, I think they sence these things, I cooked Baby Blessing some rice and chicken and that seemed to work, I even gave her the rice water into her drinking water, do you have any recent pictures of Lillie in the gallery?

I sure hope your sweetie is doing better. I can understand your worry. I worry myself sick when Maddie is ill, but she's a lot bigger than Lillie! I'll say prayers!!! Best wishes!

I was sorry to read that your little one isn't feeling well but I'm glad to hear she seems to be doing better. I hope she continues on the mend. It is really hard after you've lost one, I sometimes even have nightmares about Gypsy getting cancer like Tori had. I just really work at loving her and enjoying her as much as possible every day and try not to think about anything negative. I know how happy you'll be when she is back to normal.

LuvMySissy · 08-06-2006, 09:21 AM

Has she had a stool sample recently? They can get diarrhea from giardia or coccidia and can get dehydrated very quickly if the diarrhea continues. Mucousy stools can be a sign of giardia.

I would think that it wouldn't be from her vaccines since they were given 5 days ago, but you never know.

Keep a close eye on your precious little girl and keep us informed.

I am in Indiana too. My vet said my dogs had to have the lepto because there were cases of it in this area. Neither of mine had a reaction to it though

karen171 · 08-06-2006, 09:34 AM

How is Lillie today? Sending prayers and good thoughts that she'll be fine. Canned pumpkin worked like a charm when Ziggy had diarrhea...the vet found carpet fiber in the stool sample.

Please keep us posted. ((HUGS)))

So far today she has not had anymore diarreah, this morning she had a soft stool and it had just a small amount of mucas in it, I went to the store and got her some baby food chicken the stage 1 and some whole grain rice and gave her a tsp of each this morning and did the same this afternoon and she just gobbled it down.
I think I may have found out why she had it so bad, my husband gave her a slice of deli turkey, and maybe that was just way to much for her small stomach, he said he wont ever do that again! You just dont know how tiny these babies tummy really is till you give them to much food to handle.
Thanks everyone for being there for me last night, I was an emotional wreck.

Missy - I am certainly not an expert here, but since I cook for Sissy since she stopped eating her food - you have to pay careful attention to how it is prepared as well as what it is. Deli meat is very high in sodium as well as many other additives. I would think that even in small amounts it could be detrimental for our little ones. Glad to know she is feeling better.

DENISE517 · 08-06-2006, 04:07 PM

Missy, I just seen your thread. I sorry Lillie went through all of that. I know you must have been scared to death. I had my scare with Maddie yesterday, she ate grapes, call the vet they told me to give her hydrogen proxide to make her puke. She puked like 8 times. I'm so glad she did too, cause it looked like she got ahold of 2-3 grapes. Dan didnt know they were toxic and gave Lexi some. I'm so glad Lillie is ok now, I'm sure it was the turkey. Give her kisses from all of us!!!!
